class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1fcd9aefd4d912966ccf8e9b0257c2eb\" alt=\"OCBC Bank\" title=\"OCBC Bank\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"768\"/><span>OCBC Bank</span></p><p><strong>OCBC Ltd</strong> (SGX: O39) is the final bank of the local trio to report its 2023 second quarter (2Q 2023) and first half (1H 2023) earnings.</p><p>Last week, its peer <strong>United Overseas Bank</strong> (SGX: U11) released a sparkling set of results that saw it up its interim dividend by 42%.</p><p>Earlier this week, <strong>DBS Group</strong> (SGX: D05) also announced a strong set of results and hiked its 1H 2023 dividend by 25%.</p><p>OCBC also did not disappoint as the bank delivered a record net profit and boosted its interim dividend by 43% year on year, the highest percentage increase among the three local banks.</p><p>Here are five things that investors need to know about the lender’s latest earnings.</p><h2 id=\"id_1364997397\">1. A commendable set of financial numbers</h2><p>For 2Q 2023, OCBC saw its net interest income (NII) jump 40% year on year to S$2.4 billion as global interest rates continued to rise.</p><p>Non-interest income for the quarter climbed 11% year on year to S$1.1 billion, principally contributed by its insurance arm <strong>Great Eastern Holdings Ltd</strong> (SGX: G07).</p><p>As a result, total income leapt 30% year on year to S$3.5 billion.</p><p>Operating expenses inched up just 2% year on year, thus allowing operating profit before allowances to shoot up 48% year on year to S$2.4 billion.</p><p>Allowances more than tripled year on year to S$252 million for 2Q 2023 because of increased coverage for non-impaired loans.</p><p>Net profit improved by 34% year on year to S$1.7 billion.</p><p>For 1H 2023, NII increased by 48% year on year to S$4.7 billion while group net profit rose 38% year on year to S$3.6 billion.</p><p>Return on equity (ROE) for the half year also increased by 3.9 percentage points from 10.4% to 14.3%.</p><h2 id=\"id_1404767248\">2. Lower fee income offset by higher wealth management AUM</h2><p>Fee income was subdued for 2Q 2023, clocking in at S$430 million, down around 10% year on year.</p><p>The decline was attributed to weaker wealth management, brokerage and fund management fees.</p><p>Wealth management fees fell by 15.8% year on year to S$181 million as investors remained on the sidelines.</p><p>However, OCBC reported net new money inflows into its wealth management franchise, with assets under management rising by 10% year on year to S$274 billion as of 30 June 2023.</p><p>For 1H 2023, fee income dipped by 11.6% year on year from S$999 million to S$883 million.</p><h2 id=\"id_177163280\">3. A steady NIM coupled with marginal loan growth</h2><p>OCBC reported a net interest margin (NIM) of 2.26% for 2Q 2023, up sharply from 1.71% back in 2Q 2022.</p><p>However, it was also the bank’s second consecutive quarter-on-quarter decline in NIM.</p><p>OCBC’s NIM was at its highest in 4Q 2022 with 2.31% but this ratio dipped to 2.3% in 1Q 2023 and then to 2.26% in 2Q 2023.</p><p>For 1H 2023, NIM clocked in at 2.28%, up from 1.63% a year ago.</p><p>The lender’s loan book enjoyed a 2% year on year rise to S$297 billion in constant currency terms.</p><p>Building and construction loans made up 32% of OCBC’s loan book as of 30 June 2023 while mortgage loans made up slightly more than one-fifth.</p><p>In line with its sustainability push, sustainable financing loans climbed 29% year on year to S$34 billion and comprised 11% of its loan book.</p><h2 id=\"id_3482806060\">4. An improved cost-to-income ratio with lower non-performing loans</h2><p>For 1H 2023, operating expenses rose just 5% year on year, significantly lower than the 30% year on year jump in total income.</p><p>Because of this, OCBC’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR) fell to 37.8% for 1H 2023, down from 47.1% in the prior year.</p><p>For 2Q 2023, the CIR came in at 38.5%, down sharply from 49% back in 2Q 2022.</p><p>OCBC’s non-performing loans (NPL) ratio came down from 1.3% last year to 1.1% as of 30 June 2023.</p><p>There were loan recoveries and upgrades in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia but these were offset by higher NPLs in the US mainly from a downgrade of a corporate account in the commercial real estate sector.</p><h2 id=\"id_3749968436\">5. Interim dividend raised by 43%</h2><p>In light of the strong results, OCBC has raised its interim dividend from S$0.28 last year to S$0.40 for a 43% year on year increase.</p><p>The dividend payout ratio remains at 50%, in line with its guidance.</p><p>The bank’s trailing 12-month dividend totals up to S$0.80, giving its shares a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 6.1%.</p><h2 id=\"id_2612370198\">Get Smart: A refreshed strategy to spur growth</h2><p>CEO Helen Wong intends to leverage OCBC’s strong network and enhance its capabilities based on the recently-launched unified brand and logo to drive further growth.</p><p>The group projects an ROE of 14% for 2023 along with a NIM above 2.2%.</p><p>It also expects low to mid-single-digit loan growth and will maintain its dividend payout ratio at 50%.</p></body></html>","source":"thesmartinvestor_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A commendable set of financial numbersFor 2Q 2023, OCBC saw its net interest income (NII) jump 40% year on year to S$2.4 billion as global interest rates continued to rise.Non-interest income for the quarter climbed 11% year on year to S$1.1 billion, principally contributed by its insurance arm Great Eastern Holdings Ltd (SGX: G07).As a result, total income leapt 30% year on year to S$3.5 billion.Operating expenses inched up just 2% year on year, thus allowing operating profit before allowances to shoot up 48% year on year to S$2.4 billion.Allowances more than tripled year on year to S$252 million for 2Q 2023 because of increased coverage for non-impaired loans.Net profit improved by 34% year on year to S$1.7 billion.For 1H 2023, NII increased by 48% year on year to S$4.7 billion while group net profit rose 38% year on year to S$3.6 billion.Return on equity (ROE) for the half year also increased by 3.9 percentage points from 10.4% to 14.3%.2. Lower fee income offset by higher wealth management AUMFee income was subdued for 2Q 2023, clocking in at S$430 million, down around 10% year on year.The decline was attributed to weaker wealth management, brokerage and fund management fees.Wealth management fees fell by 15.8% year on year to S$181 million as investors remained on the sidelines.However, OCBC reported net new money inflows into its wealth management franchise, with assets under management rising by 10% year on year to S$274 billion as of 30 June 2023.For 1H 2023, fee income dipped by 11.6% year on year from S$999 million to S$883 million.3. A steady NIM coupled with marginal loan growthOCBC reported a net interest margin (NIM) of 2.26% for 2Q 2023, up sharply from 1.71% back in 2Q 2022.However, it was also the bank’s second consecutive quarter-on-quarter decline in NIM.OCBC’s NIM was at its highest in 4Q 2022 with 2.31% but this ratio dipped to 2.3% in 1Q 2023 and then to 2.26% in 2Q 2023.For 1H 2023, NIM clocked in at 2.28%, up from 1.63% a year ago.The lender’s loan book enjoyed a 2% year on year rise to S$297 billion in constant currency terms.Building and construction loans made up 32% of OCBC’s loan book as of 30 June 2023 while mortgage loans made up slightly more than one-fifth.In line with its sustainability push, sustainable financing loans climbed 29% year on year to S$34 billion and comprised 11% of its loan book.4. An improved cost-to-income ratio with lower non-performing loansFor 1H 2023, operating expenses rose just 5% year on year, significantly lower than the 30% year on year jump in total income.Because of this, OCBC’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR) fell to 37.8% for 1H 2023, down from 47.1% in the prior year.For 2Q 2023, the CIR came in at 38.5%, down sharply from 49% back in 2Q 2022.OCBC’s non-performing loans (NPL) ratio came down from 1.3% last year to 1.1% as of 30 June 2023.There were loan recoveries and upgrades in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia but these were offset by higher NPLs in the US mainly from a downgrade of a corporate account in the commercial real estate sector.5. Interim dividend raised by 43%In light of the strong results, OCBC has raised its interim dividend from S$0.28 last year to S$0.40 for a 43% year on year increase.The dividend payout ratio remains at 50%, in line with its guidance.The bank’s trailing 12-month dividend totals up to S$0.80, giving its shares a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 6.1%.Get Smart: A refreshed strategy to spur growthCEO Helen Wong intends to leverage OCBC’s strong network and enhance its capabilities based on the recently-launched unified brand and logo to drive further growth.The group projects an ROE of 14% for 2023 along with a NIM above 2.2%.It also expects low to mid-single-digit loan growth and will maintain its dividend payout ratio at 50%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":205280058089648,"gmtCreate":1691126568063,"gmtModify":1691126571938,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like ","listText":"Like ","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/205280058089648","repostId":"1100282628","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1100282628","pubTimestamp":1691108180,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1100282628?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-08-04 08:16","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"OCBC Profit Climbs as Higher Interest Rates Buoy Margins","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100282628","media":"bloomberg","summary":"Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. reported a jump in second-quarter profit driven by an expansion in lending margins even as allowances for potentially soured assets more than tripled.Net income rose 34% to S$1.71 billion from a year earlier in the three months ended June 30, Southeast Asia’s second-largest lender said Friday.

A stellar set of earnings</h2><p>Looking at DBS’ 2Q 2023, net interest income (NII) for its commercial book division surged 54% year on year to S$3.6 billion.</p><p>The improvement was in line with higher interest rates which translated into a better net interest margin (NIM) for the bank.</p><p>Fee and commission income improved by 7% year on year to S$823 million.</p><p>Because of these increases, DBS’ total income increased by 35% year on year to surpass S$5 billion.</p><p>Expenses rose just 16% year on year, resulting in profit before allowances soaring 50% year on year to S$3.1 billion.</p><p>Net profit came in at S$2.6 billion for 2Q 2023, up 45% year on year.</p><p>The latest profit figures include S$60 million of integration costs related to DBS’ acquisition of <strong>Citigroup’s</strong> (NYSE: C) Taiwan consumer banking division.</p><p>For 1H 2023, the lender’s total income improved by 34% year on year to nearly S$10 billion.</p><p>Net profit clocked in at S$5.2 billion with ROE reaching 18.9%, both at record-high levels for the group.</p><h2 id=\"id_1276442423\">2. Net interest margin continues to climb</h2><p>DBS saw its NIM jump from 1.52% in 1H 2022 to 2.14% in 1H 2023.</p><p>On a quarter-on-quarter basis, NIM continues to trend up although the increase is moderating over the past three quarters.</p><p>2Q 2023’s NIM came in at 2.16%, up 0.58 percentage points from the prior year’s 1.58%.</p><p>It was also 0.04 percentage points higher than 1Q 2023’s NIM of 2.12%.</p><p>However, the quarter-on-quarter increase is less than that of 1Q 2023’s 0.07 percentage points and 4Q 2022’s 0.15 percentage points.</p><p>Despite this, CEO Piyush Gupta believes that there is an “upward bias” to NIM from current levels because of unexpected interest rate increases by the US Federal Reserve in the second half of 2023.</p><p>Around 20% of the bank’s commercial loans have also yet to be repriced to higher rates.</p><h2 id=\"id_3646789823\">3. Better fee income and higher assets under management</h2><p>Turning to fee income, DBS enjoyed a 3.5% year on year uplift for 1H 2023 to hit S$2 billion.</p><p>For the quarter, fee income hit S$999 million, 9% higher than the level a year ago.</p><p>The rise was attributable to three fee categories – wealth management, loans and credit cards.</p><p>Wealth management fees increased by 11.9% year on year because of higher insurance and investment product sales while loan-related fees jumped by 16.7% year on year to S$133 million.</p><p>Credit card fees improved by 16.7% year on year to S$237 million in line with higher travel spending.</p><p>DBS also saw assets under management (AUM) rise from S$294 billion a year ago to S$320 billion.</p><p>Fee income is projected to grow by mid-single-digits for 2023 as there is further upside from card spending along with better momentum in garnering AUM as S$12 billion of inflows was recorded by the bank in 1H 2023.</p><h2 id=\"id_3545910411\">4.

A stellar set of earningsLooking at DBS’ 2Q 2023, net interest income (NII) for its commercial book division surged 54% year on year to S$3.6 billion.The improvement was in line with higher interest rates which translated into a better net interest margin (NIM) for the bank.Fee and commission income improved by 7% year on year to S$823 million.Because of these increases, DBS’ total income increased by 35% year on year to surpass S$5 billion.Expenses rose just 16% year on year, resulting in profit before allowances soaring 50% year on year to S$3.1 billion.Net profit came in at S$2.6 billion for 2Q 2023, up 45% year on year.The latest profit figures include S$60 million of integration costs related to DBS’ acquisition of Citigroup’s (NYSE: C) Taiwan consumer banking division.For 1H 2023, the lender’s total income improved by 34% year on year to nearly S$10 billion.Net profit clocked in at S$5.2 billion with ROE reaching 18.9%, both at record-high levels for the group.2. Net interest margin continues to climbDBS saw its NIM jump from 1.52% in 1H 2022 to 2.14% in 1H 2023.On a quarter-on-quarter basis, NIM continues to trend up although the increase is moderating over the past three quarters.2Q 2023’s NIM came in at 2.16%, up 0.58 percentage points from the prior year’s 1.58%.It was also 0.04 percentage points higher than 1Q 2023’s NIM of 2.12%.However, the quarter-on-quarter increase is less than that of 1Q 2023’s 0.07 percentage points and 4Q 2022’s 0.15 percentage points.Despite this, CEO Piyush Gupta believes that there is an “upward bias” to NIM from current levels because of unexpected interest rate increases by the US Federal Reserve in the second half of 2023.Around 20% of the bank’s commercial loans have also yet to be repriced to higher rates.3. Better fee income and higher assets under managementTurning to fee income, DBS enjoyed a 3.5% year on year uplift for 1H 2023 to hit S$2 billion.For the quarter, fee income hit S$999 million, 9% higher than the level a year ago.The rise was attributable to three fee categories – wealth management, loans and credit cards.Wealth management fees increased by 11.9% year on year because of higher insurance and investment product sales while loan-related fees jumped by 16.7% year on year to S$133 million.Credit card fees improved by 16.7% year on year to S$237 million in line with higher travel spending.DBS also saw assets under management (AUM) rise from S$294 billion a year ago to S$320 billion.Fee income is projected to grow by mid-single-digits for 2023 as there is further upside from card spending along with better momentum in garnering AUM as S$12 billion of inflows was recorded by the bank in 1H 2023.4. A dip in loan growth with an improving non-performing loans ratioDBS’ loan book saw a 2% year-on-year dip to S$415.7 billion mainly due to a S$3 billion contraction in trade loans and a fall in wealth management loans during 1H 2023.The subdued lending environment was due to the sharp rise in interest rates.Still, management expects low-single-digit loan growth for 2023 contributed by non-trade corporate loans and trade loans in the second half.The non-performing loans (NPL) ratio remained steady at 1.1% quarter-on-quarter but improved from the prior year’s 1.3%.5. A sharply higher quarterly dividendIn tandem with the robust set of earnings, DBS hiked its quarterly dividend by 33% year on year from S$0.36 to S$0.48.The increase brings its 1H 2023 dividend to S$0.90, 25% higher than the S$0.72 paid out in 1H 2022.The bank’s annualised dividend based on S$0.48 per share has risen to S$1.92, giving its shares a forward dividend yield of 5.7%.DBS reiterated its dividend guidance given at its May 2023 Investor Day, stating that a baseline increase of S$0.24 per year (i.e. S$0.06 per quarter) is sustainable barring unforeseen circumstances.In addition, there could be a further ordinary dividend increase, a special dividend, or share buybacks depending on business conditions and the macroeconomic outlook.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":204783623205000,"gmtCreate":1691029323634,"gmtModify":1691029327139,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

payouts act as a reward to shareholders when the company is performing well and represent a tangible return on your investment.</p><p>You can choose to spend your dividends whichever way you wish or to reinvest them in the very stocks that paid them out to enjoy long-term compounding.</p><p>When it comes to stability, there is no better choice than to park your money in dependable blue-chip stocks.</p><p>So, if you like a mix of stability and a consistent yield, you should look for blue-chip stocks that pay out reliable dividends.</p><p>If these stocks manage to raise their dividends, you will receive even more cash even if your shareholding remained the same.</p><p>We throw the spotlight on three blue-chip stocks that recently upped their dividends.</p><h2 id=\"id_3474313124\">United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11)</h2><p>United Overseas Bank, or UOB, is Singapore’s third-largest bank by market capitalisation.</p><p>The lender is enjoying a strong uplift in its net interest income (NII) in line with surging interest rates.</p><p>For its recent 2023 first half (1H 2023) earnings, the bank reported a sharp 53% year on year jump in core net profit to S$3.1 billion.</p><p>NII surged by 37% year on year to S$4.8 billion as the bank’s net interest margin (NIM) expanded from 1.63% in 1H 2022 to 2.13% in 1H 2023.</p><p>UOB hiked its interim dividend by 42% year on year from S$0.60 to S$0.85, representing around 49% of the group’s net profit.</p><p>At a share price of S$30.10 and with a trailing 12-month dividend of S$1.60, the bank’s shares offer a trailing dividend yield of 5.3%.</p><p>The lender is optimistic for the remainder of 2023 as it is on track to achieve a projected annualised revenue uplift of around S$1 billion from its acquisition and integration of <strong>Citigroup’s</strong> (NYSE: C) consumer banking franchise in four countries.</p><p>The acquisition has concluded in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam with integration expected for Thailand and Vietnam by next year.</p><p>Indonesia is on track for completion by the end of 2023.</p><p>With the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates to their highest level in more than 22 years and with yet another possible rate hike on the cards in September, UOB looks set to enjoy high NIM and NII for the foreseeable future.</p><h2 id=\"id_3251307585\">Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (SGX: J36)</h2><p>Jardine Matheson Holdings, or JMH, is a diversified group owning multiple businesses and property assets.</p><p>The group employs more than 425,000 employees and has a wide range of businesses in sectors such as food retailing, health and beauty, property development, transport services, and luxury hotels.</p><p>For 1H 2023, revenue remained flat year on year at US$18.3 billion.</p><p>However, underlying profit, which strips out one-off and exceptional items, improved by 10% year on year to US$823 million.</p><p>As of 30 June 2023, net asset value per share inched up 1% from 31 December 2022 to US$100.</p><p>With stronger results, JMH declared an interim dividend of US$0.60, 9% higher than the US$0.55 paid out a year ago.</p><p>Together with last year’s final dividend of US$1.60, the trailing 12-month dividend for the diversified group stood at US$2.20, giving its shares a trailing dividend yield of 4.5%.</p><h2 id=\"id_860169339\">DFI Retail Group (SGX: D01)</h2><p>DFI Retail Group, or DFI, is a pan-Asian retailer with more than 10,700 outlets and 218,000 employees as of 30 June 2023.</p><p>The group operates several well-known brands such as Giant, Cold Storage, and Guardian across formats such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, health and beauty, and convenience stores.</p><p>The business has seen an encouraging recovery amid improved trading conditions in 1H 2023 as the Hong Kong border reopens and footfall increases across all its stores.</p><p>Revenue remained flat year on year at US$4.6 billion.</p><p>However, DFI reported a turnaround for 1H 2023 with an underlying net profit of US$33 million, reversing the US$52 million net loss in the prior year.</p><p>The Health and Beauty division saw a 20% like-for-like sales growth for the half-year but was dragged down by weakness in grocery retail and home furnishings.</p><p>Free cash flow for the retail group climbed nearly 28% year on year from US$283.6 million in 1H 2022 to US$362.6 million in 1H 2023.</p><p>As a result, DFI tripled its interim dividend to US$0.03, which was similar to the total dividend paid for 2022.</p><p>Together with last year’s final dividend of US$0.02, the trailing 12-month dividend adds up to US$0.05, giving its shares a trailing dividend yield of 1.9%.</p></body></html>","source":"thesmartinvestor_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE

dividends whichever way you wish or to reinvest them in the very stocks that paid them out to enjoy long-term compounding.When it comes to stability, there is no better choice than to park your money in dependable blue-chip stocks.So, if you like a mix of stability and a consistent yield, you should look for blue-chip stocks that pay out reliable dividends.If these stocks manage to raise their dividends, you will receive even more cash even if your shareholding remained the same.We throw the spotlight on three blue-chip stocks that recently upped their dividends.United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11)United Overseas Bank, or UOB, is Singapore’s third-largest bank by market capitalisation.The lender is enjoying a strong uplift in its net interest income (NII) in line with surging interest rates.For its recent 2023 first half (1H 2023) earnings, the bank reported a sharp 53% year on year jump in core net profit to S$3.1 billion.NII surged by 37% year on year to S$4.8 billion as the bank’s net interest margin (NIM) expanded from 1.63% in 1H 2022 to 2.13% in 1H 2023.UOB hiked its interim dividend by 42% year on year from S$0.60 to S$0.85, representing around 49% of the group’s net profit.At a share price of S$30.10 and with a trailing 12-month dividend of S$1.60, the bank’s shares offer a trailing dividend yield of 5.3%.The lender is optimistic for the remainder of 2023 as it is on track to achieve a projected annualised revenue uplift of around S$1 billion from its acquisition and integration of Citigroup’s (NYSE: C) consumer banking franchise in four countries.The acquisition has concluded in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam with integration expected for Thailand and Vietnam by next year.Indonesia is on track for completion by the end of 2023.With the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates to their highest level in more than 22 years and with yet another possible rate hike on the cards in September, UOB looks set to enjoy high NIM and NII for the foreseeable future.Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (SGX: J36)Jardine Matheson Holdings, or JMH, is a diversified group owning multiple businesses and property assets.The group employs more than 425,000 employees and has a wide range of businesses in sectors such as food retailing, health and beauty, property development, transport services, and luxury hotels.For 1H 2023, revenue remained flat year on year at US$18.3 billion.However, underlying profit, which strips out one-off and exceptional items, improved by 10% year on year to US$823 million.As of 30 June 2023, net asset value per share inched up 1% from 31 December 2022 to US$100.With stronger results, JMH declared an interim dividend of US$0.60, 9% higher than the US$0.55 paid out a year ago.Together with last year’s final dividend of US$1.60, the trailing 12-month dividend for the diversified group stood at US$2.20, giving its shares a trailing dividend yield of 4.5%.DFI Retail Group (SGX: D01)DFI Retail Group, or DFI, is a pan-Asian retailer with more than 10,700 outlets and 218,000 employees as of 30 June 2023.The group operates several well-known brands such as Giant, Cold Storage, and Guardian across formats such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, health and beauty, and convenience stores.The business has seen an encouraging recovery amid improved trading conditions in 1H 2023 as the Hong Kong border reopens and footfall increases across all its stores.Revenue remained flat year on year at US$4.6 billion.However, DFI reported a turnaround for 1H 2023 with an underlying net profit of US$33 million, reversing the US$52 million net loss in the prior year.The Health and Beauty division saw a 20% like-for-like sales growth for the half-year but was dragged down by weakness in grocery retail and home furnishings.Free cash flow for the retail group climbed nearly 28% year on year from US$283.6 million in 1H 2022 to US$362.6 million in 1H 2023.As a result, DFI tripled its interim dividend to US$0.03, which was similar to the total dividend paid for 2022.Together with last year’s final dividend of US$0.02, the trailing 12-month dividend adds up to US$0.05, giving its shares a trailing dividend yield of 1.9%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":204205552480440,"gmtCreate":1690863115788,"gmtModify":1690863119812,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

(NYSE:BABA). My investment thesis includes price action, volume, momentum, and relative strength. I will also identify a stop loss and potential price targets. Let’s dissect the chart below.</p><p>Chart 1 – BABA weekly chart with 30-week EMA, Percentage Price Oscillator, Volume, & Relative Strength</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32ef5c7873501e0a5c54d40fd3f1191b\" alt=\"www.stockcharts.com\" title=\"www.stockcharts.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"475\"/><span>www.stockcharts.com</span></p><p>When I analyze charts for potential trades, I start with looking at price action. I am looking at the structure of the market. Looking at Chart 1 above the second pane shows the weekly price action of BABA with its 30-week exponential moving average ('EMA') in blue. Anytime the price of the stock on a chart goes from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner that stock is in a downtrend. It is not good to own a stock that is trending lower. You can see the stock stays below its falling 30-week EMA for all of 2021, and most of 2022. When I see this type of price action I look to see where the market structure changes from a declining stock to one that is basing or in an accumulation phase. The basing or accumulation phase of BABA’s market structure shows itself inside the green box. Three things indicate that BABA has changed from a declining stock to a stock that is basing. The first signal is the 30-week EMA starts to flatten out. You can see this change starting in December 2022. Before this time, the 30-week EMA was steadily declining. The second indication is that with the flat 30-weeek EMA, prices start to stay inside the range. In this case BABA trades anywhere from the upper $70s to about $105. BABA has been inside this price range from November 2022 to the present. What is happening inside this price range? That is the third indication. Institutions or smart money are showing signs of accumulating BABA. Looking at the third pane of Chart 1, you can see weekly volume with its 10-week EMA in blue. Inside the green box, volume starts to increase when the price of the stock goes higher for the week. Volume often pops above the 10-week EMA on bullish weeks. That type of volume pattern shows that smart money is likely accumulating BABA for their portfolios. I believe they would only do that because they think that BABA is undervalued at this price level, and they expect BABA to be higher in the future. They see BABA going from a stock that is basing to a stock that is moving higher in the future in my view.</p><p>Momentum is another aspect that I consider when building an investment thesis. The top pane of Chart 1 shows the Percentage Price Oscillator ('PPO') which is a way to measure the momentum of stock movement. It is easy to understand. Momentum is bullish for a stock whenever the black line is above the red line. This shows that buyers are consistently moving the stock higher. Another indication of bullish price momentum is when the black line is above the zero line or the center line of the chart. This just occurred this week. The black line has a reading of 0.174 meaning it is above zero. PPO has both types of bullish momentum. It is important to understand that PPO is a confirmation indicator. PPO doesn’t lead prices higher. PPO just helps us understand good price momentum from bad. I want to own stocks that have bullish price momentum and BABA does.</p><p>Relative strength is the last indicator I use for building an investment thesis. I want to own stocks that are outperforming the SP 500 index. Doing so allows you to potentially beat the SP 500 index. The fourth pane of Chart 1 shows the relative strength ratio of BABA to the SP 500 index. The black line shows the price ratio, and the blue line is the 30-week EMA of that ratio. Reading the indicator is simple. When the black line is declining that shows that BABA is underperforming the SP 500 index. When the black line is rising that shows that BABA is outperforming the SP 500 index. When I look at this indicator today, I see neither underperformance nor outperformance. Since mid-June, relative strength has been climbing which could continue. That is a positive to me.</p><p>I think the price structure of BABA is bullish. BABA has now traded above its 30-week EMA for the last four weeks. Its 30-week EMA is starting to turn higher which is also bullish. BABA has bullish momentum and looks to be improving momentum wise. Relative strength has been flat for the year but has been showing signs of improvement since mid-June. I will buy shares this week.</p><p>In terms of potential price targets, I see two. The first is $120 which is where price met resistance in March 2022, June 2022, and January 2023. The second potential price target is $180 where price was decisively rejected in October 2021.</p><p>Whenever I place a trade, I always have a stop loss. This is a price that shows me my investment thesis was wrong. I see two ways to do this with BABA. Usually, any weekly close below the 30-week EMA would force me to close my position. However, this idea doesn’t work when buying a stock in a price range. As I mentioned earlier, BABA is in a price range here and can easily undercut its 30-week EMA. This wouldn’t mean it is ready to start another prolonged decline. In this case, I will reduce exposure to BABA if it declines more than 10% from my buy price. If BABA continues to rise from here, I will look to add more money to the position.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But it's fair to say that the trillion-dollar club could become a bit less exclusive as time goes on.</p><p>To be sure, there are plenty of companies that <em>could</em> potentially reach a $1 trillion valuation by the end of the decade. Twenty U.S.-listed stocks currently have market caps of $300 billion or more, and there's a solid case to be made for most of them, especially if the stock market performs well. But here are three in particular that could have a particularly excellent shot at a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.</p><h2 id=\"id_796014650\">A trillion-dollar conglomerate</h2><p>To be fair, <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> is the least bold prediction on this list. With a current market cap of about $765 billion, getting to $1 trillion by the end of the decade would require 4.2% annualized returns, while Berkshire has a clear history of beating the stock market handily. In fact, it would be somewhat disappointing if Berkshire <em>only</em> reached $1 trillion by 2030.</p><p>There are a few reasons why Berkshire should relatively easily join the trillion-dollar club. For one thing, the company is a natural compounding machine, generating billions of dollars every quarter that can be reinvested as management sees fit. Its stock portfolio alone is worth $381 billion and should at least match the market's historical 9% to 10% annualized returns over the long run. Plus, with more than $130 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Berkshire actually has an <em>advantage</em> if a recession hits in the near term, as it should allow Warren Buffett and his team to take advantage of bargains in the market.</p><h2 id=\"id_487007978\">The war on cash rages on</h2><p>With a $483 billion market cap, <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></strong> would need to achieve a 11.8% annualized total return in order to reach $1 trillion before 2030. And based on the recent growth of the business, as well as the massive market opportunity in cashless payments, it could certainly make this happen.</p><p>In the most recent fiscal quarter, Visa's revenue grew by 12% year over year, fueled by strong growth in cross-border volume. Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 9%, and keep in mind that this is with a rising rate environment and expected recession on the horizon. Visa currently has about $12.5 trillion in annualized-payment volume flowing through its network, but the company has cited a $185 trillion opportunity, including markets like person-to-person and business-to-business transfers that Visa largely hasn't tapped into yet.</p><h2 id=\"id_597847587\">The first trillion-dollar bank?</h2><p><strong>JPMorgan Chase</strong> is the "smallest" company on this list with a $460 billion market cap, which means it would need to produce annualized growth of approximately 12.7% to join the trillion-dollar club by 2030.</p><p>This could certainly be achievable. After all, the company has a strong record of smart lending and excellent growth. Over the past 10 years, the bank stock's market cap has grown by 115%, and this was in a mainly low-interest environment that kept net-interest income at a minimal level. Plus, recent moves such as the acquisition of failed First Republic Bank at excellent terms should help boost returns going forward.</p><h2 id=\"id_3727378880\">All are realistic trillion-dollar candidates</h2><p>None of these are particularly bold predictions. All are excellent businesses with top-quality management teams and lots of room to grow in the years to come. While there is no way to know for sure what will happen in the economy and stock market between now and then, all three of these stocks are in excellent positions to produce strong long-term returns for investors.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But it's fair to say that the trillion-dollar club could become a bit less exclusive as time goes on.To be sure, there are plenty of companies that could potentially reach a $1 trillion valuation by the end of the decade. Twenty U.S.-listed stocks currently have market caps of $300 billion or more, and there's a solid case to be made for most of them, especially if the stock market performs well. But here are three in particular that could have a particularly excellent shot at a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.A trillion-dollar conglomerateTo be fair, Berkshire Hathaway is the least bold prediction on this list. With a current market cap of about $765 billion, getting to $1 trillion by the end of the decade would require 4.2% annualized returns, while Berkshire has a clear history of beating the stock market handily. In fact, it would be somewhat disappointing if Berkshire only reached $1 trillion by 2030.There are a few reasons why Berkshire should relatively easily join the trillion-dollar club. For one thing, the company is a natural compounding machine, generating billions of dollars every quarter that can be reinvested as management sees fit. Its stock portfolio alone is worth $381 billion and should at least match the market's historical 9% to 10% annualized returns over the long run. Plus, with more than $130 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Berkshire actually has an advantage if a recession hits in the near term, as it should allow Warren Buffett and his team to take advantage of bargains in the market.The war on cash rages onWith a $483 billion market cap, Visa would need to achieve a 11.8% annualized total return in order to reach $1 trillion before 2030. And based on the recent growth of the business, as well as the massive market opportunity in cashless payments, it could certainly make this happen.In the most recent fiscal quarter, Visa's revenue grew by 12% year over year, fueled by strong growth in cross-border volume. Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 9%, and keep in mind that this is with a rising rate environment and expected recession on the horizon. Visa currently has about $12.5 trillion in annualized-payment volume flowing through its network, but the company has cited a $185 trillion opportunity, including markets like person-to-person and business-to-business transfers that Visa largely hasn't tapped into yet.The first trillion-dollar bank?JPMorgan Chase is the \"smallest\" company on this list with a $460 billion market cap, which means it would need to produce annualized growth of approximately 12.7% to join the trillion-dollar club by 2030.This could certainly be achievable. After all, the company has a strong record of smart lending and excellent growth. Over the past 10 years, the bank stock's market cap has grown by 115%, and this was in a mainly low-interest environment that kept net-interest income at a minimal level. Plus, recent moves such as the acquisition of failed First Republic Bank at excellent terms should help boost returns going forward.All are realistic trillion-dollar candidatesNone of these are particularly bold predictions. All are excellent businesses with top-quality management teams and lots of room to grow in the years to come. While there is no way to know for sure what will happen in the economy and stock market between now and then, all three of these stocks are in excellent positions to produce strong long-term returns for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":203858267332864,"gmtCreate":1690776585922,"gmtModify":1690776588991,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like ","listText":"Like ","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/203858267332864","repostId":"2355628035","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2355628035","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1690757894,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2355628035?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-07-31 06:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple, Amazon, AMD, and More Earnings, July Jobs Report: What to Know This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2355628035","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"It will bethe busiest week of second-quarter earnings season, witha third of S&P 500 companies scheduled to report.

As part of a slew of new targets announced on July 3 in its “sharpened Asean-Greater China focus”, OCBC<strong> </strong>aims to reap $3 billion in total incremental revenue over the next three years until 2025.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">To this end, OCBC aims to double its investment banking revenue in three years, and achieve more than 500 regional mandates for cash management over the next five years.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">OCBC aims to intensify its coverage of Hong Kong’s small businesses, targeting to onboard 26,000 new small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) there over the next three years, which will add to its global wholesale banking customer base of 320,000 customers.</p><p>By 2025, OCBC aims to double assets under management (AUM) of its Premier Banking and Premier Private Client segments for Greater China. OCBC expects to grow its pool of bankers in line with this regional push; the bank says it will double its number of relationship managers serving high-net worth customers in Greater China by 2025.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">According to OCBC, this is in line with its projections from 2021, when the bank said it would increase the number of corporate and commercial bankers by 30% to about 400 by 2024.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Bank of Singapore, OCBC’s private banking subsidiary, also aims to increase its AUM to US$145 billion ($196.08 billion) by end-2025, having tripled its AUM in the decade between 2013 and 2022 to US$124 billion today. To reach this new AUM target, Bank of Singapore says it will grow its team of relationship managers from some 400 currently to 500 by then.</p><p>The strategic refresh is accompanied by a unified brand across its core markets; from 4Q2023, OCBC Wing Hang Bank (China) Limited will go by OCBC Bank Limited in mainland China, subject to regulatory approval.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In addition, OCBC Wing Hang Bank Limited is now OCBC Bank (Hong Kong) Limited and Banco OCBC Weng Hang, S.A. is now OCBC Bank (Macau) Limited.</p><p>With these legal name changes in Greater China, OCBC has launched a unified refreshed logo for its banking entities, retiring the word “Bank” from its brand image after 34 years. OCBC NISP, OCBC’s Indonesian subsidiary, will adopt the same logo in 4Q2023.

As part of a slew of new targets announced on July 3 in its “sharpened Asean-Greater China focus”, OCBC aims to reap $3 billion in total incremental revenue over the next three years until 2025.To this end, OCBC aims to double its investment banking revenue in three years, and achieve more than 500 regional mandates for cash management over the next five years.OCBC aims to intensify its coverage of Hong Kong’s small businesses, targeting to onboard 26,000 new small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) there over the next three years, which will add to its global wholesale banking customer base of 320,000 customers.By 2025, OCBC aims to double assets under management (AUM) of its Premier Banking and Premier Private Client segments for Greater China. OCBC expects to grow its pool of bankers in line with this regional push; the bank says it will double its number of relationship managers serving high-net worth customers in Greater China by 2025.According to OCBC, this is in line with its projections from 2021, when the bank said it would increase the number of corporate and commercial bankers by 30% to about 400 by 2024.Bank of Singapore, OCBC’s private banking subsidiary, also aims to increase its AUM to US$145 billion ($196.08 billion) by end-2025, having tripled its AUM in the decade between 2013 and 2022 to US$124 billion today. To reach this new AUM target, Bank of Singapore says it will grow its team of relationship managers from some 400 currently to 500 by then.The strategic refresh is accompanied by a unified brand across its core markets; from 4Q2023, OCBC Wing Hang Bank (China) Limited will go by OCBC Bank Limited in mainland China, subject to regulatory approval.In addition, OCBC Wing Hang Bank Limited is now OCBC Bank (Hong Kong) Limited and Banco OCBC Weng Hang, S.A. is now OCBC Bank (Macau) Limited.With these legal name changes in Greater China, OCBC has launched a unified refreshed logo for its banking entities, retiring the word “Bank” from its brand image after 34 years. OCBC NISP, OCBC’s Indonesian subsidiary, will adopt the same logo in 4Q2023. The logo for Bank of Singapore, however, remains unchanged.In tandem with the new refreshed logo, the bank has launched a new tagline — “For now, and beyond”.Speaking in Hong Kong at the unveiling of OCBC’s new strategy, group chief executive officer Helen Wong says the bank recognises the potential of business flows between Asean and Greater China. “Over the years, we have built a strong franchise and put ourselves in a very good position to capture these flows.

It’s also a reason to sell the stock.</p><p>Tesla’s shares have soared this year, but they’re also exceptionally volatile. The stock has ranged from about $102 to $315 over the past year. The $213 gap is more than 100% of the average closing price over that span. The same calculation for Apple (AAPL) yields about 40% of the average price</p><p>With Tesla, it’s often easy, or easier, to see why the stock is moving up or down. It’s not always simple, though, to understand why it moves so much for the given reason. Consider the recent run. Coming into Thursday trading, Tesla shares are up about 42% since May 25. Two things happened that day. First, Nvidia (NVDA) stock soared 24% after reporting its AI-related business was doing much better than anyone expected. Then, Tesla and Ford Motor (F) announced a deal allowing Ford drivers to use Tesla’s charging stations.</p><p>Both events, like the new @Tesla_AI Twitter account, crystallized the idea that Tesla is more than just a car company, something key for Tesla valuation.

It’s also a reason to sell the stock.Tesla’s shares have soared this year, but they’re also exceptionally volatile. The stock has ranged from about $102 to $315 over the past year. The $213 gap is more than 100% of the average closing price over that span. The same calculation for Apple (AAPL) yields about 40% of the average priceWith Tesla, it’s often easy, or easier, to see why the stock is moving up or down. It’s not always simple, though, to understand why it moves so much for the given reason. Consider the recent run. Coming into Thursday trading, Tesla shares are up about 42% since May 25. Two things happened that day. First, Nvidia (NVDA) stock soared 24% after reporting its AI-related business was doing much better than anyone expected. Then, Tesla and Ford Motor (F) announced a deal allowing Ford drivers to use Tesla’s charging stations.Both events, like the new @Tesla_AI Twitter account, crystallized the idea that Tesla is more than just a car company, something key for Tesla valuation.

Fool","summary":"The possible reemergence of a bull market may make now a good time to look for such stocks.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Growth investors usually hope to find stocks that can rise tenfold after they purchase shares. Indeed, some of the most prominent names in tech increased much more than that as they came to lead emerging industries. That's one way to become a millionaire.</p><p>However, it's crucial to remember that such substantial returns are not guaranteed and rely heavily on market conditions, company performance, and a multitude of other factors.</p><p>Moreover, the bull market of 2020 and 2021 took some stocks to stratospheric levels, but the 2022 bear market wiped out nearly all of their gains. Now, with the stock price growth in recent months, stocks like <strong>Roku</strong> and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></strong> could potentially make such gains by 2035. Here's how.</p><h2>Roku</h2><p>Roku trades at approximately $70 per share as of this writing. At this point, a tenfold run would take it to $700 per share, well above its all-time high of almost $491 per share in mid-2021. It is also above the expected mid-range price target set by Cathie Wood's Ark Invest, which holds a 5.5% weighting on Roku among Ark funds.</p><p>Wood's team predicted it would reach $605 per share in 2026. Moreover, that is merely the expected price, and the study speculated the price could move as high as $1,493 per share.</p><p>Why might Roku surge so high? The main reason is its potential for video advertising. Roku has prospered by bringing content providers, audiences, and advertisers together. It has also benefited as more programming leaves traditional TV in favor of streaming.</p><p>Admittedly, Wood's team also outlined a bear case for only $100 per share. And it faces intense competition from heavyweight rivals, including Samsung, <strong>Alphabet</strong>, and <strong>Amazon</strong>. This is especially true outside North America, where competitors hold the first-mover advantage. Also, revenue growth has nearly come to a stop, as it grew by only 1% year over year in the first quarter of 2023.</p><p>However, amid slow growth, Roku increased the number of active accounts by 17% to more than 72 million during Q1. Also, streaming hours exceeded 25 billion, 20% more than last year.</p><p>Finally, despite recent gains, its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3, a relatively modest valuation that could entice new buyers. If Roku can combine that customer growth with an improving ad market, that $700 price target looks more plausible than one might assume.</p><h2>UiPath</h2><p>Admittedly, Cathie Wood's team did not make the bold prediction on UiPath that it made on Roku. Nonetheless, it is the second-largest holding across Ark funds, making up 6% of all combined holdings for the Cathie Wood investment.</p><p>Wood's team has likely made such an investment since it holds tremendous potential in robotic process automation (RPA). Rather than merely performing repetitive tasks, its RPA offers an end-to-end approach that accomplishes such tasks by leveraging robotics and software into one ecosystem.</p><p>UiPath holds an additional competitive advantage thanks to its community. Since the community develops and shares applications within UiPath's ecosystem, a competing product would likely struggle to gain an equal following.</p><p>Amid that rising popularity, the company launched its initial public offering in mid-2021. But after peaking at $90 per share, it lost almost 90% of its value. It has since recovered to around $18 per share. This means a recovery to the all-time high would take it halfway to a potential tenfold gain.</p><p>There is a viable path to making such gains. The company predicts a revenue increase of at least 20% for fiscal 2024 (ending January 2024). Also, analysts forecast an average of 32% earnings growth annually over the next five years. That would imply a doubling of the stock price every 2.25 years, assuming constant valuations.</p><p>Additionally, the P/S ratio could rise. The sales multiple now stands at 9, but that is near historic lows and well under the 66 P/S ratio it peaked at in April 2021. If earnings growth were to increase this multiple, a tenfold gain would be within reach.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Growth Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $1 Million by 2035</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n2 Growth Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $1 Million by 2035\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-15 08:01 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/06/14/2-growth-stocks-turn-100000-into-1-million-2035/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Growth investors usually hope to find stocks that can rise tenfold after they purchase shares.

That's one way to become a millionaire.However, it's crucial to remember that such substantial returns are not guaranteed and rely heavily on market conditions, company performance, and a multitude of other factors.Moreover, the bull market of 2020 and 2021 took some stocks to stratospheric levels, but the 2022 bear market wiped out nearly all of their gains. Now, with the stock price growth in recent months, stocks like Roku and UiPath could potentially make such gains by 2035. Here's how.RokuRoku trades at approximately $70 per share as of this writing. At this point, a tenfold run would take it to $700 per share, well above its all-time high of almost $491 per share in mid-2021. It is also above the expected mid-range price target set by Cathie Wood's Ark Invest, which holds a 5.5% weighting on Roku among Ark funds.Wood's team predicted it would reach $605 per share in 2026. Moreover, that is merely the expected price, and the study speculated the price could move as high as $1,493 per share.Why might Roku surge so high? The main reason is its potential for video advertising. Roku has prospered by bringing content providers, audiences, and advertisers together. It has also benefited as more programming leaves traditional TV in favor of streaming.Admittedly, Wood's team also outlined a bear case for only $100 per share. And it faces intense competition from heavyweight rivals, including Samsung, Alphabet, and Amazon. This is especially true outside North America, where competitors hold the first-mover advantage. Also, revenue growth has nearly come to a stop, as it grew by only 1% year over year in the first quarter of 2023.However, amid slow growth, Roku increased the number of active accounts by 17% to more than 72 million during Q1. Also, streaming hours exceeded 25 billion, 20% more than last year.Finally, despite recent gains, its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3, a relatively modest valuation that could entice new buyers. If Roku can combine that customer growth with an improving ad market, that $700 price target looks more plausible than one might assume.UiPathAdmittedly, Cathie Wood's team did not make the bold prediction on UiPath that it made on Roku. Nonetheless, it is the second-largest holding across Ark funds, making up 6% of all combined holdings for the Cathie Wood investment.Wood's team has likely made such an investment since it holds tremendous potential in robotic process automation (RPA). Rather than merely performing repetitive tasks, its RPA offers an end-to-end approach that accomplishes such tasks by leveraging robotics and software into one ecosystem.UiPath holds an additional competitive advantage thanks to its community. Since the community develops and shares applications within UiPath's ecosystem, a competing product would likely struggle to gain an equal following.Amid that rising popularity, the company launched its initial public offering in mid-2021. But after peaking at $90 per share, it lost almost 90% of its value. It has since recovered to around $18 per share. This means a recovery to the all-time high would take it halfway to a potential tenfold gain.There is a viable path to making such gains. The company predicts a revenue increase of at least 20% for fiscal 2024 (ending January 2024). Also, analysts forecast an average of 32% earnings growth annually over the next five years. That would imply a doubling of the stock price every 2.25 years, assuming constant valuations.Additionally, the P/S ratio could rise. The sales multiple now stands at 9, but that is near historic lows and well under the 66 P/S ratio it peaked at in April 2021. If earnings growth were to increase this multiple, a tenfold gain would be within reach.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":184397455433744,"gmtCreate":1686043446013,"gmtModify":1686043451434,"author":{"id":"3582969710070724","authorId":"3582969710070724","name":"OO_898","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb3c360d5d7711641a868a144192fc7","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like ","listText":"Like ","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/184397455433744","repostId":"2341853515","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2341853515","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1686042258,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2341853515?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-06-06 17:04","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Hello Gr Q1 Adj Earnings Per ADS $0.34 Beats $0.27 Estimate, Sales $410.46M Beat $380.12M Estimate","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2341853515","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Hello Gr (NASDAQ:MOMO) reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $0.34 per ADS which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.27 by 25.93 percent.

They keep raising prices, and for the most part, consumers have absorbed the constantly rising cost of products and services. Many of the biggest companies in the world say they will continue the increases to prop up corporate profits.There will of course be a point where income does not keep up with inflation (which has actually already started), and demand will start to slow. That is a likely scenario for the second half of 2023. Pepsi raised its snack prices by 16% in the first quarter, and while demand slowed some, the price increases were more than enough to hold profit margins intact.We screened our 24/7 Wall St. research value and income database for companies that typically do not feel as much pressure from rising input costs and found seven that make good sense for growth and income investors. All have stocks rated Buy at major Wall Street firms, but it is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.CiscoInvestors who are more conservative may want to consider this mega-cap tech leader, which recently posted outstanding quarterly results.
